How is the ride to town?
Bumpy
I was about half way through when Celeste came to get me. Oh my. She was wearing a beautiful dress. Blue in color which I knew was a theme here. But I wasn’t ready to see her like this. I was truly stunned. She kind of looked like a noble woman playing dress up as a maid. It caught me off guard.
“Rosemary,” she said with a curtsy. “Now that I am in these clothes, it will no longer be proper to call me by name or head maid or sister. I am the Lady of the Light now. Call me Mistress.”
“Yes Mistress,” I said kneeling.
“Come, Sofia has a dress for you a well,” our Lady said.
I walked quickly behind her and found Brenda putting on her own clothes. She seemed to be grumbling about the lack of coverage around the breasts.
“Come Sofia, help Rosemary,” Mistress said. I slowly slide into my robes, I could feel the magic within them. They were certainly decent robes. Maybe on the same level as my original robes. But much sexier.
“Mistress,” Brenda said. “I must challenge this. Rosemary is planned to visit the guild to give say she plans to avoid doing quests for a while. Her being in this blue slutty outfit will draw attention to her. I am to be sent to the guild to contact my family right? I would… well this isn’t how I would normally dress. Even if this is what I am expected to do in future, I do not find this safe currently.”
Mistress placed a hand on her cheek. “I will consult him to relay the message.”
“You just don’t wanna be seen in public like that, isn’t that right Brenda?” I teased.
“It is ridiculous. How am I supposed to fight properly like this?” she said looking at her clothes. “I look like a slut with a sword. Are you telling me you actually want to dress like this?”
I looked at my own dress. Honestly it felt a bit stifling. For what felt like a month I had wore nothing more than basic foot protection and underwear. Actually if anything I felt relieved that Master considered my breasts good enough to show off.
“I don’t mind,” I said smiling.
“Ah! What! But… I have seen your wardrobe from when you were at the royal capital! You never wore anything like this before!”
I giggled. “Things change dear sister.”
“No,” my Lady said. “Unless you plan to pretend you are blood siblings. You cannot use our titles or sister while we are outside.”
“Iris should be Rosemary’s sister then,” Brenda chimed in. “I came here because her brother was looking for her. She looks different than her pictures, but it would be good to have something to distance her from him. Plus she can’t be my sister, I am more famous than Rosemary.”
The Lady looked at Iris and me. “So you two will be sisters?”
“I don’t have any issue with that,” I said.
“Me neither,” Iris added. “I can’t believe my brother is causing trouble. I remember sending him a note about my choice. So sister, we should go with your surname then?”
I nodded. “Ashwood.”
“Julia then,” the Lady said. “You shall be Julia Ashwood for this trip. I will inform the Mistress and Master.”
“Ah! Lucky! That name is totally cute,” Elise said as she groped Julia. “My Lady. Can I be Natalia’s sister this trip?”
Natalia smiled, and the Lady responded with a nod.
Victoria pouted a bit. “I was hoping to be Rosemary’s sister. Oh well. Next time perhaps.”
Seemed I was popular. Julia grabbed my arm. “Do keep me safe sister!”
I patted her head. Of course.
The wagons were already fully stocked before we made our way unto our seats. Our Lady was in the front with Elise on the reigns. Inside our carriage was Natalia, Sofia, Iris, Lillian and myself. Master’s carriage had a second seating section for two, which the Master and Mistress sat together in, while Freya had the reigns and everyone else in the back.
“Ah,” I said as we hit a bump and the wooden bench bounced against my ass. Not fun. Everyone else seemed like this wasn’t much of an issue for them, so I said nothing.
Honestly in the past when I rode on wagons, it tended to be over paved roads. Or they would be more private wagons with the wagons carrying stuff being separate. So I wasn’t really used to this low quality of ride. Hmmm, I bet I could enhance this ride with magic. No, this could wait til next month. First ensure everyone is safe.
“Hey Sofia,” I said. “Thanks for the outfit. It is really high Quality. I was happy to have it.”
She smiled and yawned. “I am happy you consider it worthy.”
Using enough divinity for two outfits. Yeah. She would probably be exhausted all day. I repeated the cantrip from this morning to help her sleep. She leaned against Natalia as she drifted off.
I felt something odd. Like a shimmer. “Do you guys feel that?” I asked. No one said anything.
I looked outside and saw Master’s wagon stopped suddenly. Brenda already jumped out. Uh oh. One thing about being a divination specialist. Sometimes it sucks being right.
Is it bad?
